[Extrapulmonary tuberculosis in 3 Dutch patients].

In three patients, two women aged 71 and 59 years and a man aged 49 who had been living in the Netherlands for a long time and who were admitted because of vague symptoms, extrapulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis were diagnosed: tuberculosis of the lumbar spine with psoas abscess, tuberculous peritonitis and adrenal tuberculosis with Addison's disease in a patient with open pulmonary tuberculosis. All three recovered with tuberculostatic therapy (isoniazid, streptomycin, pyrazinamide and rifampicin).

Prognosis of primary anterior shoulder dislocation in young adults.

From 1982 to 1987, 194 patients with 196 primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations were treated in our hospital. One hundred and sixty-six patients with 168 shoulder dislocations (87%) were available for study at follow-up an average of 4 years after treatment. The most important prognostic factor in relation to recurrence was the age of the patient at the time of the primary dislocation. The highest recurrence rate was found in patients of 30 years and younger (64%). Athletes in this age group had no worse a prognosis as to recurrence than non-athletes. A fracture of the greater tuberosity improved the prognosis significantly (P less than 0.01). Neither the presence of a Hill-Sachs lesion nor the period of immobilization influenced the recurrence rate in patients aged 30 years and younger.
